"He asked me about Bayern. I think the philosophy of how that club is run pleases him," Toni told Bild.

"He is a very good Coach who would perfectly fit that team. He would give the German mentality some flair.

"He should definitely coach Bayern! They are one of the best teams in the world. They have money, they have the perfect stadium and have merchandising.

"In Italy some of these provisions are not as good, but they are catching up. They only club in Italy that is comparable to Bayern though is Juventus, who will be at their level in less than 10 years."
